I am on a Journey of Lifelong Humility |
|
|
I realize that my weight journey, my life journey, is a constant learning process and will be all my life. It is the process of reeducating the mind and bringing into submission a will that does not fight you every step of the way.
“The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak”. I have to humbly admit that my flesh will always be weak. And I will have to be on guard the rest of my life against the extreme weakness of my flesh towards wrongful indulgence or more clearly stated - further calorie input than my body requires to be sustained.

I loooooooooooooove this attitude, Arnold... For so many years I had the attitude that I just wanted to be "fixed" and not ever think about my weight issues again... and that caused sooooo much anger and resintment...
Through the grace of God... through Healthstewards... I've learned how to accept who I am... and that this is something I will deal with for the rest of my life... and I am so very grateful that God has taught me this lesson...
Thanks for reminding me of this.... :)

I can't add anything to that wonderful post. Well, except thanks for sharing such wisdom with us. And congrats on another good weight loss! God is obviously blessing your obedience to Him. :-)

Super! I can relate to the lifelone vigilence. Over time you'll develop that natural feeling of Enough Food, but for now, we just have to do whatever we need to do.
